I've just been looking at sites in Dorset for mid October and the CC recent announcements on awnings and spacing between units appears to be having a noticeable effect. On two sites in particular the bookings for non awning pitches were near or at 100 percent in October, whereas for awning pitches there was availability. In past years when we visited those sites in Mid October the reverse was the case ie getting an awning pitch was neigh on impossible.
